Gill said "It is an absolute honor to be chosen by my peers to be inducted into Guitar Center's RockWalk. I've always been grateful to be able to spend my life doing what I love to do, and to be recognized in such a monumental way - cemented next to the legendary artists reflected on the RockWalk - is a moment I could never have imagined when I picked up that very first guitar."

Jake Cheung, manager of marketing and artist relations for the Guitar Center, said "Over the course of his decade spanning career, Vince Gill has become a fixture in country music and beyond. Not only is he a legend in the music world with 20 Grammys and countless other accolades, but he has also forged a meaningful career as a humanitarian, producer and collaborator. These, among other attributes, are what make Vince Gill the perfect example of the type of artist we intend to honor with Guitar Center's RockWalk."

Keith Urban is working on his upcoming album, Ripcord, which he is doing everything possible to have finished and released by the time of his upcoming tour which starts at the beginning of June. Keith told Billboard "I’m not sure the record will be out in time for the tour. I think it’ll be pretty close. … But having said that, if we can stay on schedule and everything moves right, it should be done just before the tour."

Keith will hit the road on June 2 in Kansas City and has dates around the U.S. through mid-November. Coming along for the ride are Brett Eldredge and newcomer Maren Morris.
